An interesting statistic

[One Day I'll Have One]

A Buddy of mine told me a stat yestarday and I'd like your take on it. I think he's full of crap but he said to me "7 out of 10 Vipers don't make it home."

Anyone else ever heard this?

I've been told 30% of all Vipers are wrecked in their first year of ownership. A lot of new owners let the unbridled horsepower get away from them.

510 Horses and only 2 saddles

Is your buddy a recreational crack user? He must be smoking something as these cars are very reliable!

7 out of 10?!

aint no way. otherwise our insurance rates would be simply unaffordable.

i have heard the 30% thing before but even doubt that.

I thought it was something like 30% are wrecked in the first month of ownership. Seems like I read that stat was stated at a past VOI. But 70% not making it home is WAY off.

I heard the 30% before but never 70%. If that were true only about 6000 of the 20000 or so Vipers ever made would still be around.

Considering our rather "average" insurance rates... statistically, I would say that we are much, much safer drivers that 70/30.

If you consider that the stat is that 30% are involved in some sort of "incident" (could be as minor as looping the car and brushing a curb to as major as totalling the car) the 30% number might be more reasonable.

I think it was 30% of viper wrecks happen in the first 30 days. makes more since

i agree with the above post!

I figured it was something like that. He probably got the numbers mixed up.
